Missy Elliott Knew Nothing About Upcoming Aaliyah Album

Contrary to a statement from Blackground Recordings, Missy Elliott says she knew nothing about the upcoming Aaliyah album.

Confusion continues to mount around the upcoming Aaliyah
album, as close friend and long time collaborator Missy Elliott revealed that
she knew nothing about the project.
Original reports were that Drakewould be producing the album, and then
he confirmed that his producer Noah “40” Shebib and he drake-gives-details-on-aaliyah-s-album-news.2604.html" target="_blank">would be “commanding”
the project, and stated that people “essential” to Aaliyah’s career would be
involved – which infers both Timbaland and Missy’s involvement.

Now, in a tweet to a fan regarding Aaliyah’s album, which
was later deleted, Missy Elliott said (from HipHopDX) “I had no clue there was
no 1 told me…” This comes after one of the
heads of Blackground Recordings, Jomo Hankerson, who is also Aaliyah’s cousin
said “I can tell you that Timbaland will definitely
be involved, Missy will definitely be involved.”

Previous reports were that
Noah “40” Shebib would be producing the bulk of the records on the LP, but that
Timbaland would be producing a couple tracks, but even that is yet to be
confirmed. All we know for now is that
there is an Aaliyah project, and that Drake is involved in some manner, and
that both Drake and Aaliyah’s label want to see Timbo and Missy involved.

For now, you can at least
enjoy Aaliyah’s “Enough Said” from the project, featuring Drake.
